    Choicing which nation you become after independence

    We're in a tourism boom, so things are looking up, but its entirely possible we could spiral out of control, especially seeing as our constitution is outdated and as in most Caribbean islands, corruption is easy to be a part of and hard to get rid of. Most islands which gained independence...

    I just realized... I live in a colony!

    Ah that's a bit of a disappointment. I'll be slightly annoyed because I'm sure St. Maarten will be in for the Dutch and their right next to us... We swear we're better than them :P

    Choicing which nation you become after independence

    That won't work... The NA are still under Dutch reign. One serious can of worms. I was thinking the Australian situation was comparable to Canada's... It seems a good deal more complex. My country too is going through a lot of debate with regards to English rule. There's a movement for...

    I just realized... I live in a colony!

    Maybe my island will be a city name in the game... That would be pretty cool.

    Installing Warlords after BTS?

    So I recently installed CIV and BTS on my computer. I had it installed earlier including Warlords but since then had uninstalled all three games. Now when I try to install Warlords it tells me that Setup has detected a newer version of Civ 4 and I would have to reinstall to install Warlords. Any...

    Zeppelin bombs Destroyer -20%... uh huh.

    Airships were used for recon and spotting subs, and they should keep that... However, what Airships also did was reduce damage from bombers by floating over a city with wires hanging off of them. The bombers would get messed up if they flew into the wires, so they were forced to fly above the...

    Unit tweaks

    Thanks dude! I looked through the XML briefly and figured that might be it, but I figure it better to ask than to risk mucking things up. :goodjob:

    Unit tweaks

    Hey guys, I'm usually a competent programmer, however I don't like digging in game files where I can accidentally mess stuff up. I was hoping I could get some help on a few tweaks I wanted to do to some units... 1) The Roman UU is called the Praetorian which irks me because it's historically...

    I'm doing alright playing for Conquest on Noble, but...

    Hmmm... Makes sense, thanks for the advice guys. The idea of planting Caravels near enemy cities to act as spies is brilliant, and I'm sad I didn't think about it... And the modern war advice was awesome too. I did the reaction force thing, but the problem is I was too lazy to build one up...

    I'm doing alright playing for Conquest on Noble, but...

    I don't think specialization is the problem - My first priority is getting a productions city running, though I don't normally get more than one or two cities other than my capital settled by me personally, I take the rest myself... And I rarely get a commerce city by my own settling. That will...

    I'm doing alright playing for Conquest on Noble, but...

    I was hoping I could get some advice here. My games essentially run like this: I play Persia, so I use my Immortals to dominate early game. Ancient-Classical-Medieval Era I tear my continent apart and make it mine. However, after my initial wars my economy slumps, and so I focus on grabbing...

    Inaccurate phalanx

    He's not suggesting anything of the sort. He's just talking about the historical accuracy. I was a little disappointed when I found they were called Phalanx instead of Hoplites, same for Praetorians. General Failure, you seem to know history well. What if the Hoplites were NOT using a phalanx...

    Some Preliminary Thoughts on a Mixed Economy

    Awesome thread... Sounds like a viable strategy to me!

    How do you modernize your military?

    Usually by how I play. I used to play Alexander all the time, and I switched to Genghis because Agg/Imp interests me. With both leaders, I feel like I expand too slowly and am to slow to get an attack force up. I'm adapting and improving though, this game came off well for me. The topic isn't...
